Wow Dick Gordon

Sen. Richard Gordon said the government did not need to take out a loan
to finance an NBN project that the country does not need.

"It
should be scrapped. Palpak talaga (It’s really bungled). It is not
need-driven but supply-driven. We do not need that project. What we
need is to spend on education, health," Gordon said, adding: "We should
ask China to help us where we need it."

Transportation Secretary
Leandro Mendoza had warned of "repercussions" in the country’s
relations with China if the deal would not push through.

But Gordon dismissed Mendoza’s argument.

"China
will understand that. China has other deals with us. Now if we ban
their products, sampal sa kanila iyon (It’s a slap on them)," he said.
